The Alaculsey Lumber
Nona Georgia citizen.
The Alaculsey Lumber Compa
ny is now working a large force
of hands at its camps at Oran
dal 1, and has the appearance
that healthy activity so charac
teristic of prosperity.
A visit to the camps of
concern will convince the
skeptical of the immense amount
of timber on its possessions in
the mountains of the Alaculsey.
Tram roads have been built,
penetrating the mountains
two and one-half miles, from
end of which a trough track
been built for about the
distance. Thus it will be
that it is now into the wilds
the mountains something
five miles, though its
lands extend more than
niBes, which will in time be
etrated by these train toads,
scenery along which can not
surpassed by any section of
United States.
The Cohutta Mountains form
today one of the most
chains in America, and
beauty and grandeur at this
son are entrancing in the ex
treme; and any person
loves and appreciates
would be lost in meditation
the sight of the blue
during this gorgeous
when nature is attired in
most beautiful robes, and
birds are singing their
songs, and the pure, clear
ling streams as they ripple
the mountain sides, make an
companiment the whole of
is lit for the gods.
Such are the surroundings
the camps of the Alaculsey
ber Company. Mr. J. W.
the manager, is of the
that the L. & N. railroad

the plants are on a direct

FOR CONGRESS
It Is Said Rev. Thad Pickett Will Make 1
an Independent Race.
While, so far as we know, the
report has not been authenticat¬
ed, there is a rumor current
throughout this section that Rev.
Thad Pickett, of Dalton, will run
as an independent candidate for
congress from the Seventh dis¬
trict.
Several years ago, when living
in the Ninth, Mr. Pickett made
the race against Hon. Garter
Tate ; and though he suffered de¬
feat at the hands of that gentle¬
man, yet he put up a very vigo¬
rous fight.
We want you to take a drive

In Favor of Spring Place the Result of
Saturday's Game.
The Spring Place base ball
team went over to Dalton Satur¬
day, and returned wearing victo¬
ry’s laurel wreath.
Dalton put up a first-class
game, but had to go down be¬
fore the splendid work of the
boys from Murray.
At the conclusion of the game
the score board showed 9 runs to
the credit of Spring Place, while
Dalton had tapped the home
plate but 4 times.

Captured Two Stills.
Deputy Marshal Black and
Harry Peeples captured two
“moonshine” stills in Murray

In mentioning the various en¬
terprises of Murray county we
come next to one located in this
city, which will undoubtedly
prove of much benefit in the up-,
building of the town. We refer
to the plant of the Murray Coun¬
ty Mills.
Equipped with up-to-date .ma¬
chinery of the very, latest pat¬
terns, bpilt with a capacity of
100 barrels of the finest flour
daily, these mills stand as a
monumetiMo the progressiveness
and modern business spirit of
the proprietor, Mr. C. T. Owens.
Early in the year 1902 the
Murray County Milling Company
was formed by C. T. Owens, J.
W. Harris and L. D. Russell,
Mr. Russel], however, retiring
before the mill was completed
and put into active operation.
In August of the same year
the first wheel was turned, and
that , , date , , to , the ,. present .
from up
time this concern has been grind
ing what is conceded, wherever
sold, to be the best flour ever
sent out by a North Georgia mill.
In February, 1908, Mr. Harris
disposed of his interest to Mr.
Owens, who thus became the
sole owner, which lie remains to
day, and the firm name was
changed to the .Murray County
Flour Mills.
The brands of flour which
have made the products of this
mill so well known, and the ex¬
cellence of which have created
an enormous demand for them,
are “Chief Vann,” the leader;
“Wisdom Patent” and “Fort
Mountain.” These have found
a ready sale not only in Georgia,
but also m Tennessee, and but
for the fact that Mr. Owens is
seriously handicapped by a lack
of proper shipping facilities the
busy hum of machinery would
be heard there day and night.
